GAINES COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GAINES COTTAGE sales between August 2008 and September 2021 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the June 2015 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
